I am not a religious man, but I am a thankful man. I am thankful for my health and happiness, for my family and extended family. I am thankful for all I had, all I lost and all to come. I am thankful my wife loves me and my family is tolerant. I thank my lucky stars I am not already dead, and for the life I have led. I am also thankful I don't don't go out much, because the christmas music is all the stores for nearly 2 months is pure torture!
Christmas on the other hand hurts. Hurts emotionally for many, financially for others, and hurts my ears as I already pointed out. This season I am going to think of Christmas as the other Thanksgiving, and instead of being burdened by the "holiday season", I am going to think about Thanksgiving as another day of eating and drinking too much, and laughing until I pass out. You see, I just needed a little change of perspective and I think I might start loving this time of year again.
